Retaining good employees in tough times
1College of Business and Economics, University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, USA.
Abstract:
Retention of valued employees is essential to maintaining high levels of quality service and efficiency in consideration of the tight labor supply and an increasingly competitive health care market. Health care organizations that desire to become "employers of choice" must devise strategies and innovative programs which will satisfy a spectrum of both work and personal needs. Such initiatives include tangible rewards such as competitive compensation and benefits, and, more important, valued intangibles like quality of work life programs. In a more attractive environment, employees will make a long-term commitment.
